The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) developed TeamSTEPPS 2.0. TeamSTEPPS was developed by AHRQ and the Department of Defense (DoD) as a teamwork system that offers a powerful solution to improving collaboration and communication within your institution. Teamwork has been found to be one of the key initiatives within patient safety that can transform the culture within health care. Patient safety experts agree that communication and other teamwork skills are essential for the provision of quality health care and for the prevention and mitigation of medical errors and patient injury and harm.

Provided as a flexible training kit, TeamSTEPPS 2.0 is an evidence-based program aimed at optimizing performance among teams of health care professionals, enabling them to respond quickly and effectively to whatever situations arise. This curriculum incorporates more than 30 years of scientific research that has been conducted on teams and team performance.

This curriculum is a customized version of TeamSTEPPS 2.0 for use in long-term care settings. The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 for Long-Term Care Instructor Manual is designed to help you develop and deploy a customized plan to train your staff in teamwork skills and lead a medical teamwork improvement initiative in your nursing home from initial concept development through sustainment of positive changes. Contained within the materials are comprehensive presentations and instructional guides, including short case studies and videos illustrating teamwork opportunities and successes.
